Göttingen International Ethnographic Film Festival

The Göttingen International Ethnographic Film Festival is a biennial event. It is open to all filmmakers, but especially those from anthropology, sociology, folklore, history and neighbouring disciplines. It provides a great opportunity for international co-operation in Visual Anthropology and documentary filmmaking. The general aim of the festival is to promote documentary cinema in the context of intra- and intercultural communication and to give credit to new films, videos or interactive media dealing with anthropology, sociology and cultural studies in a wide sense of the term. Organised as an event in the heart of Europe, media from Central and Eastern Europe will be accepted with particular interest.
